I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 44: Qingyun County Deputy Magistrate! Huang Yangping!

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Qingyun County Deputy Magistrate! Huang Yangping!

As soon as Li Yanran finished speaking, her expression darkened instantly, and a sense of desolation surged in her heart.

It was as if her energy, spirit, and vigor had been drained, making her exceptionally heartbroken.

Because she hadn’t expected that this journey would bring her such heavy losses.

This time, Li Yanran took the two of them out with the intention to train them.

The result was that neither of the Profound Bird Guards under her command survived; all of them died.

Especially Chen Lingfeng, whom she regarded as a martial genius, a Martial Artist in the Bone Refining Realm.

If there were no accidents, it would only take a few years for him to break through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm and become a Human-level Profound Bird Guard.

In the end, when Li Yanran left, she casually found a place to bury Chen Lingfeng’s body.

As for Su Tianqi, not even a trace of his bones remained.

Qingyun County!

The Huang Residence!

The residence of Huang Yangping, the County Deputy of Qingyun County, is the most powerful place besides Lord County Magistrate.

Moreover, County Deputy Huang Yangping is a native of Qingyun County.

As everyone knows, a local County Deputy is a local County Deputy, while an outsider County Deputy is an outsider. The difference between the two is as vast as clouds and mud!

The influence of the Huang Residence in Qingyun County is entrenched and complex, with more than half of the high-level forces in Qingyun County clinging to County Deputy Huang Yangping.

Sometimes, in certain matters, County Deputy Huang Yangping’s words are even more effective than County Magistrate Ye Qingshan’s.

Thus, the influence of the Huang Family in Qingyun County is apparent!

Due to the death of Huang Xuanjie, the once bustling Huang Residence became deserted.

For they are all afraid of provoking County Deputy Huang Yangping at this time.

After all, they are well aware of that County Deputy’s methods.

Deep within the Huang Residence, in a room that appears very spacious and solemn.

There were three men bound up, and an old man, looking quite elderly, was standing beside them bowing, who is the Head Steward of the Huang Residence.

The three men on the ground were tightly bound with thick ropes, and their mouths were stuffed with thick rags.

As for the three on the ground, they were the families of the four guards responsible for Huang Xuanjie’s safety that day.

At this moment, their faces were ashen, and their eyes filled with despair as they looked up at the man in front of them.

A middle-aged man about 1.9 meters tall, dressed in silk and satin with gold-threaded cloud boots, stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from them.

The Head Steward of the Huang Residence was the one who unexpectedly attacked Liang Cheng last time, and at this moment, he respectfully addressed the man ahead.

"Master, when Young Master Jie got into trouble, these people immediately wanted to escape with their families and were captured by this old slave."

The only person the Head Steward of the Huang Residence would call ’Master’ is the Patriarch of the Huang Family, Huang Yangping, the County Deputy of Qingyun County.

After listening to the Head Steward of the Huang Residence, Huang Yangping didn’t even turn his head, merely raised his hand and waved it gently behind him.

"Take them away, I don’t want to see them anymore."

The meaning of Huang Yangping’s words was clear to the Head Steward of the Huang Residence.

Not wanting to see them meant sending them to hell so that they could never be seen again.

"Yes, Master!"

"Someone, take them away!"

The Head Steward of the Huang Residence immediately shouted towards the outside, and several servants quickly entered and dragged those on the ground out.

Once all these people were taken away, the room fell back into silence.

The Head Steward of the Huang Residence stood there with a bowed, humble posture, seemingly in deep fear of Huang Yangping.

Because the Head Steward of the Huang Residence feared not only Huang Yangping’s power as County Deputy, but he was also in awe of Huang Yangping’s strength.

Indeed, Huang Yangping’s Martial Arts Realm was that of a Martial Artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, officials must be proficient in both literature and martial arts!

In this world of martial arts, to become a court official of the Great Xia Dynasty, one must not only possess literary talent but also be a martial artist who practices martial arts.

At this moment, Huang Yangping slowly turned around, walked to a large chair, calmly sat down, and picked up the teacup beside him.

"What does Ye Qingshan say?"

Upon hearing Huang Yangping’s words, the Head Steward of the Huang Residence quickly replied: "In response to Master, the county government has already closed the case."

Upon the Head Steward’s reply, Huang Yangping’s eyes remained calm, as if he had already anticipated this result in his heart.

Huang Yangping was indifferent to Huang Xuanjie’s death as he had more than a dozen sons, and this was just one of his illegitimate children.

The son he truly pinned his hopes on was his eldest son, born of his rightful wife, Huang Xuanzheng!

Several years ago, he joined the Prefecture’s Profound Bird Guard, where his Martial Arts Realm broke through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, and was appointed as a Human-level Profound Bird Guard.

"Hmph!"

"Ye Qingshan, one day, I will acquire that County Magistrate position of Qingyun County."

When speaking of Ye Qingshan, a murderous intent flashed in Huang Yangping’s eyes.

Originally, when the former County Magistrate of Qingyun County was transferred, that position should have been his, Huang Yangping’s, according to reason.

Moreover, he had aligned himself with an influential figure in the prefecture, offering him a large sum of silver annually.

Yet, the previously certain position of County Magistrate of Qingyun County was snatched away by an unknown Ye Qingshan.

Even the influential figure he had aligned with didn’t know why such a change occurred.

However, this Ye Qingshan is not simple.

With his Bone Marrow Refining Realm strength, he actually felt pressured by Ye Qingshan, who surely also concealed his true Martial Arts Realm, just like him.

Seeing his Master sit down, the Head Steward of the Huang Residence spoke again: "Master, there’s one more thing, Master Jia Sheng requests an audience!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yangping frowned, clearly displeased with the Head Steward’s mention of Master Jia Sheng.

However, after a moment of contemplation, Huang Yangping’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed: "Let him in!"

He had no choice, for this so-called Master Jia Sheng was related to Huang Yangping’s rightful wife, being her younger brother.

Soon, a short and stout middle-aged man appeared at the door.

The short and stout man, dressed in luxurious brocade, had features crammed together on his face, looking somewhat sly and crafty.

As soon as the short and stout man entered, he grimaced and addressed Huang Yangping: "Brother-in-law, this time you must save me!"

Looking at the man’s pained expression, Huang Yangping suppressed his anger and spoke expressionlessly: "What’s the matter, what trouble has come to your pharmacy this time?"

Huang Yangping already knew the reason he was being sought.

"Yes, brother-in-law, my pharmacy is almost ruined, and it’s all that old guy from the Lu Family Pharmacy’s fault!"

Jia Sheng, filled with hatred, spoke through clenched teeth.

"Hmph, you still dare speak!"

"Last time, your pharmacy sold fake medicine, killing over a dozen people. If I hadn’t sent someone to destroy the evidence, you would have been on the execution platform by now!"

Upon hearing Jia Sheng mention this, Huang Yangping’s face darkened, and he reprimanded him directly.
